One of the biggest and best summers in the history of Top Echelon is starting in just a couple of days! (In fact, as you can see by the title of this blog post, we’re calling it our “Epic 95 Days of Summer.”)

Why is that the case? I’m so glad you asked!

Actually, there’s more than one answer to that question. That’s what is going to make the summer so epic in the first place.

You already know about one of the things that’s going to make it so epic. Or at least, you should know.

That’s because we recently announced the first-ever Top Echelon Hall of Fame, of which there will be many members in the first class. And yes, that definitely includes current members.

We’ll be announcing the members being inducted into our Hall of Fame on social media during the “Epic 95 Days of Summer,” so be sure to follow Top Echelon on LinkedIn so that you don’t miss any of the announcements.

There will also be plenty of other important announcements and revelations during the time period between June 20 and September 22. These will include:

• New and upcoming features of our recruiting software
• Partnership and integration developments
• Special events and training opportunities
• Perhaps the biggest announcement in Top Echelon history

Yes, it’s summertime. Yes, you’re going on vacation. We understand. You deserve a break.

BUT, as I mentioned above, you need to make sure that you’re connected to us on social media. At the very least, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn.

That way, you won’t miss any of these important announcements regarding Top Echelon, our software, and your Network membership.

Follow Top Echelon on LinkedIn!

Let’s make the summer of 2024 a great summer! No, scratch that . . . let’s make the summer of 2024 an EPIC summer!

It’s always a good time to make split placements, and that includes during the heat of the summer! (What’s that? It’s not officially summer yet? We have a couple more days?)

So that includes the heat of late spring!

And we have some recruiters who are hot on their recruiting desks within Top Echelon Network this week, specifically Sara Alexandroff of Sterling St. James, LLC and Brad Dodge of iLocatum Recruiting.

As you can see below, both Sara and Brad were part of three Network placements apiece. In addition, Keith Cornelison of Personnel Resources and Steve Kohn of Affinity Executive Search, Inc. were part of two splits apiece.

Let’s hope that, just like the weather, Top Echelon Network recruiters will get even hotter on their desks over the next three months!

As a friendly neighborhood reminder, here is the information that we publish with our placements feature:

• Names of the split recruiting partners involved (with their profile photos, when available)
• Job title
• Overall placement fee (before TE’s 6% brokerage fee, of course)
• Fee percentage

Please note that the placements listed below reflect deals finalized in Top Echelon Network for the period from June 3 through June 16, 2024.

Remember, if you don’t want information related to your Network placements published in The Pinnacle, please send an email to marketing@topechelon.com to that effect.

Congratulations to everybody below for the split placements they made in Top Echelon Network!

Since you’re a member of Top Echelon Network, you’re probably already familiar with some of the benefits of a split placement network of recruiters.

But have YOU made split placements yet? Have you closed a deal with another recruiter and experienced those benefits first-hand?

Below are three benefits of a split placement network:

#1—An excellent experience

What’s better than making a placement? Making a placement that involves a great experience.

Chances are good that you’ve made placements that have been a miserable experience. And of course, you’ve worked searches that were miserable and didn’t even end with a placement fee.

However, when you work with a trusted trading partner in a recruiting network and the two of you collaborate and strive toward a common goal, the result can be exemplary on a number of levels.

#2—Great candidates

Day after day and week after week, Network recruiters make placements solely because they were presented with a great candidate by one of their split recruiting partners.

Their client couldn’t find the right candidate. They couldn’t find the right candidate. But one of their partners had the perfect candidate. BOOM! Placement!

#3—Professional satisfaction

Despite all of the slow-moving clients and wacky candidates, recruiting can be and often is a very rewarding profession. When things work well and happen the way they should happen, the rewards are apparent.

Not only that, but the feeling of satisfaction is also that much greater. It serves to remind you why you became a recruiter in the first place. And every recruiter needs a reminder like that from time to time.

Are there more than three benefits of a split placement network? Of course there are! And I’m sure we’ll be writing about those, as well, as Network members continue to make splits.

If YOU want to experience more of the benefits associated with Network membership, contact Top Echelon Director of Network Operations Drea Codispoti, CPC/CERS.

You can do so by calling 330.595.1742 or by sending an email to drea@topechelon.com.
